CHARACTERISTICSStanding Ear Hyaluronic Acid
Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid is a procedure where hyaluronic acid is injected into the ears to adjust their shape. This makes the ears stand out more prominently when viewed from the front, utilizing an optical illusion to create a smaller-faced effect. It can also improve long faces or centrifugal faces (where facial features are positioned farther from the center) and is expected to create a more youthful appearance. Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid is already a popular cosmetic treatment overseas and is sometimes referred to as "Standing Ear Hyal."
Protruding ears refer to ears that stand upright facing the front of the face. Medically, this is defined as an angle of 40 degrees or more between the auricle and the temporal region. Historically, protruding ears have often been considered a source of insecurity. In the West, they are called "Devil's Ears," while in Japan, they are sometimes referred to as "monkey ears." While corrective plastic surgery and specialized corrective tapes exist to make prominent ears less noticeable, in recent years, influenced by beautiful Korean and Chinese influencers, there has been growing interest in Japan in deliberately enhancing prominent ears, including through hyaluronic acid injections for prominent ears.
Achieve perky ears with injections alone, without plastic surgery
The appeal of hyaluronic acid for prominent ears lies in its simplicity—it's administered via injection only. Other methods for correcting prominent ears include partial incisions to reshape the ear or cartilage grafting. However, for those interested in correcting prominent ears but hesitant about plastic surgery, hyaluronic acid injections are a suitable option.
Additionally, once plastic surgery is performed, it is difficult to restore the ear to its original shape. However, the hyaluronic acid used in prominent ear hyaluronic acid treatment has the property of gradually being absorbed into the body over time. When the effect of prominent ear hyaluronic acid wears off, the shape of the ear may be considered, and at that point, it is possible to evaluate whether to undergo the prominent ear hyaluronic acid treatment again.
You can expect a slimmer face effect immediately after a 10- to 20-minute treatment.
The procedure time for prominent ear hyaluronic acid treatment is approximately 10 to 20 minutes. With this treatment, once the hyaluronic acid is injected into the ear, you will immediately notice the change to a more prominent ear. Since surgical procedures to correct prominent ears typically take about 1 to 1.5 hours, prominent ear hyaluronic acid treatment is a convenient way to achieve the desired look.
Additionally, the standing ear hyaluronic acid creates space along the sides of the face to produce a slimming effect. This works on the same principle as styling your hair to create volume on the sides, which also makes your face appear smaller.
Benefits
MERITLess strain on the body and shorter recovery time after treatment
The procedure for erect ears using hyaluronic acid involves only injections, placing minimal burden on the body. Compared to surgical incisions, it offers the advantage of shorter post-procedure downtime, typically lasting only a few days.
You can try standing ears for a limited time.
The effects of hyaluronic acid last for about a year at most. Therefore, you can first try hyaluronic acid for prominent ears. If you desire long-term changes, you can consider another hyaluronic acid injection or plastic surgery.
Achieve a natural finish while adjusting the balance
We inject small amounts of hyaluronic acid tailored to each patient's ear shape and desired outcome, carefully adjusting the balance between the protruding ears and the face to achieve a more natural result.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSPros and Cons of Hyaluronic Acid for Perky Ears
The benefits of standing ear hyaluronic acid include the following:
・The large visible area of the ears from the front makes the face appear relatively smaller.
・The upright ears create an inverted triangle shape to the face, making the midface appear shortened.
・It can improve centrifugal faces where facial features appear distant, making the eyes appear closer together.
On the other hand, the disadvantages of standing ear hyaluronic acid include the following:
・It may become difficult to wear glasses, headphones, masks, etc.
・For those with naturally centered facial features, this creates an impression where features appear even more concentrated toward the center of the face.
・Regular treatments are necessary
If you have any questions about the advantages and disadvantages of standing ear hyaluronic acid, please consult our doctors.
Use hyaluronic acid formulations suitable for each patient
Our clinic uses either Juvederm® by Allergan, Inc. (USA) or Restylane® by Galderma S.A. (Sweden) as the hyaluronic acid product for ear pinning procedures.
Juvederm is a smooth gel formulation where high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid molecules are tightly bound together, providing effects lasting over a year. On the other hand, Restylane is a gel where hyaluronic acid molecules are intertwined to enhance viscoelasticity, with effects lasting approximately 6 to 12 months. For adding volume with longer-lasting results, Juvéderm is preferred. For precisely shaping the ear contour or providing firm structural support, Restylane is typically used. The specific hyaluronic acid product selected depends on the patient's ear condition and desired outcome. Please consult your physician for detailed recommendations.
How to Reduce Swelling After Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid Treatment
To minimize swelling commonly associated with standing ear hyaluronic acid injections, apply a cold compress or ice pack to the injected area after treatment to cool the area. Additionally, it is important to avoid exercise, prolonged bathing, saunas, and similar activities for 24 to 48 hours after treatment to prevent increased blood flow to the ears and worsening of swelling. Furthermore, staying well-hydrated is also crucial for reducing post-treatment swelling.
In addition, please follow any precautions explained by your doctor or staff. If swelling persists for an extended period after the standing ear hyaluronic acid procedure, please consult your doctor.
